About the Pre-Veterinary Program
Arcadia University offers several routes for completion of the requirements for admission to schools of veterinary medicine. A major in Biology or Chemistry is most commonly pursued by students interested in veterinary medicine, but schools will accept students with excellent records in other majors, provided they have adequate preparation in the basic sciences and mathematics. The pre-health adviser assists students with the application process and choice of schools.
